LOCH NESS MONSTER
REPTILE THOUGHT EXTINCT [FItOM iV SPECIAL COIUUCSVONDENT7i LONDON, July 23 Tlio Loch Ness monster is still in the news. One who has soon it thinks lio knows what it is. That tho creature may be a gigantic reptile known to have lived thousands of years ago, and believed by naturalists to bo extinct, is the suggestion made this week by Admiral C. B. Prickott, of Nigg, Kossshiro, who says he recently saw the monster while touring on Loch Ness side. His theory is put forward only after a careful study of ancient monsters iu the Natural History Museum in London. He compared his memory picture of the Loch Ness monster with models and pictures, and camcT to the conclusion that tho only thing that resembled it was —a plesiosanrus. Mr. Ludovio Mann, a well-known Scottish antiquarian and naturalist, commenting on Admiral Prickett's suggestion, said: "Whatever tho monster is—and I feel sure thoro is one — it is causing groat mystery which naturalists will have to face and solve. Too many people are reporting having seen it."
